Now Playing - The Movie Review Podcast
Venganza Media, Inc.The hosts of Now Playing Podcast dive deep into every franchise from Bond, DC and Marvel to Mad Max, Andromeda Strain to Wolverine, breaking down each film with sharp insight, behind-the-scenes stories, and a lot of humor. If a movie has a sequel (or three), we’ve probably reviewed it with real research, real opinions, and zero patience for bad movies.

United Statesa month ago You know. The biggest letdown of the movie was the performance and the switch up with the surfer. And all the glazing seems so disengenuinous. There is literally nothing to praise. It's a non performance and changing the surfers story is terrible. It's one of the most tragic and beloved stories in all of the marvel universe and I love this show. Been listening for 14 years and every time there's something like this it's predictable. Like you guys get paid to give these phony takes. Disappointing... more

I enjoyed this podcast to begin with, but it’s turned into a lot of other movie podcasts who just try and put out too much content, which involves them reviewing stuff they know nothing about.
Complaining about things in movies that are explained clearly in the plot or if you just do a bit or research into why that thing happened just shows a lack of commitment to the movie you’re reviewing and just infuriates the listener (me).
It also seems to have become the thing to do to make yourselves l... more
